5Drostie Tame23rd Aug 2021
Losing a loved one is never easy but with Lymn's in charge of mum's funeral I knew we were in safe hands. So many positive's, its hard to know where to start. Wendy was kind and sensitive whilst being professional. The Chapel of Rest was just right - the perfect setting to pay one's last respect's. On the day of the funeral I was so nervous I thought I'd never get through it but Jonathan was amazing and gave me every confidence that all would be well and it was. The hearse was stunning. I really felt mum travelled in style to her final resting place. As was our car, both were Rolls Royce's. Wendy matched us perfectly to a wonderful celebrant - Anja who conducted mum's service perfectly. I can now look back on that sad day with fond memories thanks to Lymn's.
Chloe Lymn Rose replied

5Susan Bestwick20th Aug 2021
My mum’s funeral was conducted very sympathetically and all the staff were excellent in their approach.
The services by Nicky both at church and the crematorium were personal to mum and even the car we were able to choose for her was perfect
I would like to thank Lymns for making a sad day much more bearable.
Thanks to Wendy for her kindness and understanding and especially to David who was a great comfort to both me and my sister
A.W. Lymn, Mansfield Woodhouse Team replied
It was an honour to support you both at the time of the arrangements and on the day itself and I am glad I was able to make this sad time a little more bearable for you. I am also glad that Bracken was able to help lead mum's funeral procession with me. Thank you, David.

5Lisa Charles12th Jul 2021
When my David passed away, it's so heartbreaking, but Lymn's made the process easy, what they offer its worth the weight in gold,
My David had the big red bus, it felt like the whole family was travelling with him together, we had David's favourite music playing, my David would have loved it ,
It made a very sad time into a celebration of life, and my David wouldn't have had it any other way
They are professional, caring, understanding, Wendy was amazing and that i will never forget ,
Thankyou for all of your help
Lisa, Harry and Autumn
